The initial writing of this bill did not acknowledge that it did not stand with the farmers. And I will always stand with our farmers. Earlier this morning, our conference made great strides in recognizing our farmers by including elements of my amendment that protect our corn growers and biofuel industries. With that said, if this final bill as returned from the Senate, includes further provisions that do not show the proper respect for our farmers, our national security, or the future of nuclear energy, I will not vote for its passage.
